Speak is a very captivating book. Laurie Halse Anderson is a great writer. THe book is about high school cliques and Melinda's struggle to be accepted from her peers. Melinda's sanctuary at school is the art room. Melinda gets raped at a party and she tries to say no but she had beer to drink and cant really get the words out. She calls 911 and a kid takes the phone from her and screams that the cops are coming. It is a must read for everyone! You won't be able to put it down.
